NYT: An Interview With Eric Schlosser
An Interview With Eric Schlosser

By KIM SEVERSON
Published: May 10, 2006
ERIC SCHLOSSER took a long draw on a Coke and then turned his attention to a plate of shoestring fries. The guy was understandably hungry. His day started across from Katie Couric on the set of the "Today" show, moved on to appearances on CNN and "Teen Kids News" and ended almost 12 hours later with a discussion of food industry malfeasance at a crowded Manhattan bookstore.
